Sorrel Soup
1 handful of sorrel
1 pint of water
1 tea-cup cream or milk
Bread
Wash and prepare a handful of sorrel. Put it in a sauce-pan with the butter and a pint of water. Season. Boil gently for a quarter of an hour. Add a little cream or milk. Put several very thin slices of bread in the soup tureen, and pour the soup over them.
Rice or tapioca can be added to the soup.
